Cameron Jack is from a small farming community northeast of Las Vegas, NV. His grandpa was a sideliner beekeeper, so Cameron grew up around honey bees and beekeeping.

He traveled across the country to pursue a Ph.D. at the University of Florida under the mentorship of Dr. Jamie Ellis, where he began investigating methods to control Varroa destructor, a devastating honey bee pest.

In 2018, Cameron was hired as teaching faculty at the University of Florida and has been obsessed with creating a premier educational program that prepares students for the many challenges associated with beekeeping. He created and taught nine different honey bee-related courses, as well as an online Beekeeping Certificate Program, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.

In 2021, he transitioned into an Assistant Professor position, where he continues to teach and conduct research with his graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and many technicians. His research focuses on pesticides, pathogens, and parasites that affect honey bees.
